Justin Paul focuses his practice on all aspects of construction and insurance law and litigation. He frequently represents and counsels property owners, developers, contractors, design professionals, sureties, and insurers in construction matters, from contract drafting and negotiation to dispute resolution and litigation. He assists with a wide range of construction projects, both in the state of Florida and nationally, including those involving the construction of hotels, airports, courthouses, water-treatment plants, assisted living facilities, and residential properties. Justin has experience handling construction project disputes involving delays, inefficiencies, defects, liens, bonds, insurance, loss, catastrophic injury, and death.

Justin also represents insurance companies and their policyholders on coverage and claim-related matters. He defends and counsels carriers in commercial and residential first-party property damage, cyber loss, and business interruption claims.

Prior to joining Hinshaw, Justin practiced in all aspects of construction law and commercial litigation at a South Florida regional law firm. While there, he bolstered his litigation experience by working on complex construction disputes in state and federal courts, including those involving the defense of claims brought under the False Claims Act/Ordinance (i.e., qui tam actions) and the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA).
